40-5-423: Priority of income withholding.

An order to withhold and deliver income by any Title IV-D agency takes priority over any:

(1) wage or income deduction order under any other state law and any income-withholding order issued in another state and sent to a payor in this state by a non IV-D agency;

(2) voluntary or involuntary assignment of wages;

(3) other voluntary deductions from the obligor's income;

(4) levies, writs of execution, or garnishments of the obligor's income; and

(5) any other claims by creditors.
